I carried a few photos and some holiday candy with me to sketch as I waiting for my three-month car maintenance yesterday. (These scanned much darker than they really are.)
A good friend of mine gave me a wonderful vase filled with these candies. I was thinking as I sketched these that their flavor -- a bright mint -- is often so nice during dry, cold winter weather. These past weeks have been so unseasonably warm -- yesterday was almost 75F!! -- that the mind was refreshingly cool!
Guess I just like mint! LOL

Thanks for the birthday wishes, Lin. Love your candies!
One of the holiday's symbols. Who doesn't love peppermints?
Very sweet in all ways. And once again, I admire your industry and conscientiousness, cara. These are lovely little sketches and now you will always have something to remind you of your car's service department ;D.
Such sweet candy and so Christmasy.
Well done Lin. I can remeber how that candy tastes but I haven't had any in years.
Greetings! Lovely work. I really appreciate how you were able to do the plastic wrapping. :) ... while not the sexiest part of the image, surely the most complicated in my mind. Great job! Cheers! Mary Ellen
I like mint too -- such detail -- I can almost taste them! And getting the plastic to show -- I just can't do that!!!
Hugs,
Lorraine
A wonderful job showing the transparent quality of the wrappers. Your flowers are making anxious for spring!
Your painting is as good as Susan Branch's! What a talent!
